Early Bronaugh Residents

The Dorris Family

Francis and Sarah Dorris, along with their children William, Maggie and Eva, were among the very early Bronaugh families. They were well known as sources for early Bronaugh History since they ran the Bronaugh Journal for so long. They were also most active in the Methodist Church. None of the children ever married.
